Through collaboration with high-net-worth individuals, in just four short years the SJI has mobilised funding for more than 50 social justice advocacy organisations.
Previously, Mlangeni served as the communications director for The Graça Machel Trust and was the founding deputy director of Corruption Watch – an initiative that created a platform for the South African public to report corruption and hold the government accountable.

She has worked for leading print and broadcast media houses in her country, mainly covering socio-economic and women’s rights issues in Southern Africa. In 2004, she transitioned from journalism into the field of communications and has consulted for various international organizations.
